Mia Sorella Nail Studio

Second visit – Just as happy with it as my first visit. Actually, this manicure is more flawless than my last one. Especially going into the holidays, a perfect long-​lasting manicure is a good investment.

On a weekend trip to Baltimore, I needed my nails done DESPERATELY. i stumbled upon this gorgeous shop and instantly fell in love with the wonderful service, the contagious laughter and of course the BEST gel manicure i’ve ever received! Now, for well over two years, I have driven down from Hershey, Pennsylvania every 2 to 3 weeks to recreate my first experience at Mia Sorella and every visit is better than the last!”

I didn’t even have the opportunity to get my nails done here, because of the ineptness of the team. I had an appointment set for 5 pm. When I realized I was going to be late because I was held up at work, I called promptly to let them know. When they asked what time, I gave them them my ETA based on my GPS. Once I got closer, about 15 minutes away, I called again because my ETA had changed, and I wanted to update them to be courteous of the fact that I was running late. I called again and they said I should be fine. I told them I would be arriving at 5:30. The woman on the phone said «do you have shellac on your nails?» I replied, «no.» She said as long as I didn’t have polish on my nails, I should be fine, and if I arrived by 5:30 I would be okay. Now this is the kicker: I called AGAIN as I was pulling up because there are maybe 5 spots to park in front, with a busy street running parallel, and I couldn’t find a place to park. So I called and said «yes, hi, I have arrived, but there are no spaces to park.» The woman said to park across the street and I would be ok. I HEARD a woman in the background ask who it was and the woman on the phone say my name. Then she confirmed I park across the street. So, I did. I walked across the street and into the shop, and literally as I walked in, the woman says «I think we’re going to have to reschedule you.» Are you serious? I gave you THREE CHANCES to tell me that on the phone, including the time I was JUST ON THE PHONE with you. And you told me to park? And come in? Just so you can tell me to walk back out? I understand you have other appointments, but do not tell me to come 30 minutes out of my way to get a manicure, after I’ve updated you on my ETA 3 separate times, just to tell me you can’t take me. I walked out and will never go back. The place was small and the location was $#itty. I went to a nail place down the road called Classic Nails and they took me right away, did an AMAZING JOB (I’m very particular about my nails and this woman knocked it out of the park) and charged less for the whole thing. Sorry Mia Sorella, you lost out.

High quality manicures and pedicures in a friendly and welcoming shop. Customers become regulars quickly. I look forward to my appointments. New pedicure chairs.

First time and it was amazing! Job well done and amazing staff. Professional, clean, welcoming. would recommend to any and everyone!

I’m somewhat new to the area so I’m looking for a home salon. Found this place on Unilocal and decided to check in out because of the high reviews. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to use their services. Cute spot but seriously small. Parking is limited. No walk-​ins unless it’s an off day I guess. Highly recommend scheduling an appt. prices are a little steep too. Place was packed at 3:45 on a Friday so that says a lot. But I’m all about convenience. Took me 10 min just to pull out of the small driveway parking onto a very busy street.

Awesome spot for nails. I felt welcomed instantly, and the staff is so fun! I left loving my shellac mani, and feeling like I just had a girls day with my best friends! I will be heading back there, for sure!

I have lived in Baltimore for the past 2 years, lets just say finding a nail place where it feels really great to walk into has taken awhile. Pam and her staff are amazing, its what a nail studio should feel like!!! She does an amazing job and she always has new colors to try! This is the best place around

After having been searching high and low for a quality manicure/​pedicure experience in or around Baltimore, I dove onto Unilocal and found Mia Sorella as the only nail salon which had consistently glowing reviews, so I took a shot. Located only 10 minutes from my home, they were able to accomodate me as a walk in first thing during a weekday. However, due to the intimate size of the shop they recommend (and I do too) a prior appointment. Located on the corner lot of a residential neighborhood, you can blink and miss it driving by.
After talking with one of gals there my sense is that they have quite a few regulars with standing weekly appointments. Although it wasn’t busy for me that morning, the feeling here is definitely that of the neighborhood salon where everybody knows everybody after coming here for awhile. What drew me here versus your traditional strip mall nail shop was an experience I was seeking: relaxing and not rushed, professional and with high quality results. I was very happy with my first visit, received a manicure only, but will definitely plan to experience the pedicure soon (the pedi spa chairs looked amazingly comfortable). The classic (not Spa) manicure was $ 17 without tip. Slightly more expensive than your strip mall shop, but please trust that the experience is well worth it.
All of the employees were super friendly and welcoming to a first-​time visitor to their shop, I’m hopeful this will be the end of the road in my search for a quality nail salon for some weekly pampering.

So seriously lovely! You must check out Mia Sorella — much better than any manicure I’ve gotten in the area, and very reasonably priced. Went in for a shellac mani and the whole team was talented, meticulous, and attentive to detail. They took their time and didn’t seem rushed at all. Best of all, the ladies at Mia Sorella are so sweet and wonderful to pass a half hour with. I’ve had manicures all over — New York, LA, DC, London, etc — and the service I got at Mia Sorella was world class. I’m so sorry to be moving away, because otherwise I’d be back here constantly.
Do make an appointment — it’s worth the short drive up from Baltimore because I promise it’s a thousand times better than any manicure you’re getting here.

Mia Sorella is an adorable local nail salon. What drew me there was the location (less than a mile from my house), but what keeps me going back is the quality of the services.
For starters (and trying really hard not to sound like a racist here), the salon is owned and operated by a nice English-​speaking Italian girl. She does all of the mani-​pedis while her mom runs the front desk. They remember your NAME, they give HONEST advice, and they do great work. You’ll soon feel like part of the family.
Prior to coming to Mia Sorella, I tried MANY local nail salons (there are TONS here) which were staffed and owned by various Asian people who barely spoke English. That would have been o.k. if the atmosphere at those shops wasn’t chaotic, with an almost sweat-​shop like approach to getting people in and out as fast as possible. Not the relaxing «spa experience» you’d want when you’re treating yourself to a mani-​pedi, made worse by an inability to communicate.
When I had problems at those salons, the language barrier made it impossible to get satisfaction. I was hurt by overzealous sanding, and had my nail beds damaged while having gel removed in a pretty brutal fashion. My nails were so thin at one point that the fresh layer of gel BURNED while setting.
This is not so at Mia Sorella… Pam takes the time to do the job right, and you won’t find ANY power tools being used on your hands and feet. If you’ve ever been hurt by a carelessly-​handled power sander on your delicate flesh, you’ll be happy to know that there are folks out there that do nails BY HAND. This is one of those places. I’m certain that my nails are in GOOD shape under the acrylic, because she’s not sanding down my natural nails every time I go for a fill-​in. Soon, I’ll be switching to Shellac and say goodbye to the Acrylic forever.
You’ll LOVE the swanky pedicure chairs, and the overall décor. Everything is clean, neat and fresh. I have no worries about getting an infection or worse at this place, and that’s not something I can say about many of the places I’d tried prior.
Prices are fair, but definitely more than you’d pay at the Asian shops. Safety and quality are WELL worth the extra dosh. Since finding this place, it’s the only shop I’ve been to. She stands behind her work, and has even fixed my nails when I’VE screwed them up. And on the one occasion I was booked only for only a mani, when I wanted a pedi too, she lent me the polish for my nails so I could paint my toes to match when I got home. Where else can you get service like that?!
